A nice step up in antenna gain from the naked feed horn is the MTI Flat
panel antenna. These show up on eBay now and then. I use one of the 25
ish dBi gain ones with an Avenger LNB strapped right to the back of the
panel.
They are not as sharp as a dish, so pretty easy to point.
They will take a few watts of transmit power as well.
Spec sheet attached.
They also make a version good at 5.7 GHz which I also have down in the shop.
